In this “engrossing” novel from a Pulitzer Prize winner, a reporter investigates the recent death of woman believed murdered by her spouse years earlier (Publishers Weekly).

What was the nude, recently slain body of Kaithlin Jordan doing spoiling the pristine turquoise waters of Miami Beach — especially when the dead socialite’s convicted killer husband is sitting on Death Row for having murdered her . . . ten years ago! Reporter Britt Montero lives for this kind of story. But she may die for this one as well. Because each question raises many others — and every hard-won answer reveals secret passions and explosive truths that could doom an overly inquisitive journalist with a tendency to leap before she looks.

“An intelligent, thoroughly entertaining crime novel.” —Booklist

“The real fun of this action-packed series revolves around Britt herself, a realistic character with insatiable curiosity and a mother, a landlady, pets, lovers, and her numerous Miami News sidekicks. . . . Highly recommended.” —Library Journal
